Article abstract of DOI:10.1021/jo01313a008

Alkoxy-or (acyloxy)(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)triphenylphosphoranes which were prepared in situ by the ligand exchange of bis(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)triphenylphosphorane with alcohols or carboxylic acids were found to behave as potential alkylating or acylating reagents for the preparation of a variety of esters, amides, sulfides, and ketones.
